~ Counselling Session Number ? ~
We resumed counselling yesterday, after a long, loooong hiatus. I quite enjoyed it, actually. It covered the whole idea of 'submission' and men being the head of the household, how that flies in the face of secular thought with regards to subjection = being a doormat, and being head of the household = I holler jump, you ask how high. It was quite an exercise of unlearning stuff, even though I've read Ephesians 5:22 and onwards almost to death. I know submission in the bible isn't about having zero opinion on the running of the household, or even about who holds the purse strings and brings in the dough... but it's funny how the word, now so full of connotations in the world, still manages to make me suck in my breath at times when I think I will need to willingly subject myself to my husband.
Although as Stephen was wise to point out, the most submissive women in marriages that he knows of are also some of the most vibrant and energetic women in the church and in the home.
Funny isn't it, how the world manages to make The Marriage Model look like a huge conspiracy to undermine women and elevate men.
